in 2011 the number of blacks under 22 killed by guns was more than triple the number of u.s. soldiers killed in afghanistan. the number of plaque children killed by gunfire since 1979 is over 13 times more than the number of blacks lynched between 1882 and 1968. and since 1969 homicides involving firearms have been the leading cause of death for black males age 15 to 19. that is the leading cause of hopelessness and nihilism and morbidity we see in our young black men who feel themselves one step away from the grave every day. perhaps more tragically, most homicides are intraracial. the vast majority of killers of blacks are blacks. we're killing each other every day. no community is more in deed of gun control, is more in need of rescue from america's gun epidemic than black people, and we know it. we're extremely in favor of gun control. a recent

during his google chat, one person asked the president why the u.s. still mints pennies when so many economists agree they are economically inefficient. the president said while it wouldn't be a huge savings for the government, it should be changed. >> i will tell you that you're right. this is not going to be a huge savings for government, but anytime we're spending more money on something that people don't actually use, that's an example of something we should probably change. it's very hard to get rid of things that don't work so that we can then invest in the things that do. and the penny ends up being, i think, a good metaphor for some of the larger problems that we've got. >> so much for hope and change. anyway, there is some change he does not believe in. >>> finally, russian residents woke up to a huge fireball across the sky this morning, resulting in a powerful blast that injured about 400 people. early russian reports say the fireball was caused by a meteorite. according to the associated press, the interior ministry says the fireball cause

quote, the official warned if the u.s. does not react strongly to the use of chemical weapons in homes, assad may be emboldened. there is no real proof they're using chemical weapons. and the administration says that is not true. it's not happening. but someone inside the administration right now over the past few weeks has been trying to make it seem like there are wmds in syria and that syria is using them and we have to get into that war because of that. wmds, we got to go. sound familiar? the difference, of course this time, is it's the official line of the administration this time we should be cautious about the wmd intel. it's just the people lobbying to get us to go into the war who are calling it a slam dunk? the last time we went through this as a country, the roles were reversed. it was our own government. like dick cheney, the president, the defense secretary. they were the ones telling us things that were not true to get us to start a war. it was not that long ago. this is our first preview clip from the new ms
